Up and coming west coast rapper Mike Sherm, age 21, first gained traction as a 14-year-old when he began uploading original music on YouTube in 2011. Since then, his discography has seen unprecedented growth with a couple of mixtapes, an album and handful of minuscule viral freestyles under his belt.

With every passing day, it’s evident that his pedigree as a rapper keeps on growing. So, it shouldn’t come as a surprise if the record labels come knocking at his doorstep for his signature along with his dating life!

Bay Area Prodigy: A Look At Mike Shrem's Wiki Profile

Like so many of his peers, Mike’s sound is as regional as they come!

Born and bred in Antioch, California, the Cookies rapper - who’s of American nationality as per his wiki - comes from a long line of Bay Area rappers who have exploited the infectious hyphy.

Mike’s frequent collaborator, SOB X REB and the latest act to breakout from Bay Area peened a distribution deal with the indie giant Empire not that long ago. Judging by his career trajectory, the 21-year-old could be the next in line to be signed by a record label.

A record deal with a major label means, the Antioch native will have more resources at his disposal. For instance, with the backing of a record label behind him, he could very easily afford a feature from fellow Bay area rapper, G-Eazy -- who has a net worth of $10 million.

And more importantly, being signed to a label signals a career height and an increase in net worth, which in turn should provide him more content for his rap.

But for the time being, the Walking Lick rapper’s music is licensed by TuneCore -- Wikipedia describes the entity as a New York based-independent digital music distribution, publishing and licensing service founded in 2005.

Not surprisingly enough, Mike’s net worth is mostly made up from his income from YouTube. As of 14 September, a little under 250,000 people subscribe to his YouTube channel.

Mike Shrem On Dating: "I Can't Love A B*tch"

Mike’s coming of age rap couple with his distaste for authority (read as parents) lyrics is proving to be a potent mixture, especially among the younger demographics.

His rebellious stance permeates throughout his music; his views on dating and girlfriends, to be more specific. On the SOB X REB’s single Knockdown featuring Mike, the latter raps:

“Ain't trippin' off a b*tch I got plenty/I f*ck her off my name.”

By the end of his verse, his foray for anti-girlfriends and anti-dating sentiment is at its peak when he spits:

“I can't love a b*tch/They only want a n*gga cause I'm buzzin'/I only f*ck wit' her when I'm f*cking, b*tch.”

Given the climate, the music industry currently finds itself in - with the advent of the Me Too Movement - let’s hope that these misogynistic lyrics won’t come back to haunt him in the future when he finally becomes a fixture of the mainstream rap. For the moment, he should relish the obscurity and create the music he deems fit of his present circumstance.
